Jermaine Dupri might have just leaked the biggest musical Easter egg tied to Grand Theft Auto VI — and it involves Drake.
While speaking with Rory and Mal on their eponymous podcast, the Atlanta super producer casually revealed, “They asked me to do Grand Theft Auto, and they were saying like Drake got his own radio station on Grand Theft Auto.”
According to Dupri, not only has Rockstar Games tapped the rap icon for his own personalized in-game radio station, but “Drake can actually upload music that we probably have never even heard online on that video game,” he shared. That means GTA VI may have the ability to debut exclusive tracks through gameplay. The highly anticipated game is set to release on May 26, 2026.
While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed Drake’s acquirement, notably fans have long desired the ability to curate their own radio stations within the GTA universe. If true, the Toronto star might be the first to make that vision a virtual reality.
Aside from the “Nokia” rapper, ScHoolboy Q also revealed back in February 2023 that he’d be featured musically in GTA VI, while T-Pain shared he had worked with Rockstar as well. And though DJ Khaled hasn’t confirmed his involvement directly, rumors earlier this year suggested he might be hosting his own station when the game drops. If artists can use the game as a DSP to drop exclusives, the lines between streaming culture and gaming will get blurrier and a lot more interesting.
Diving more into the streaming world, Drake is set to appear on Kai Cenat’s livestream to review entries for their “Somebody Loves Me” music video contest. The event, which was supposed to take place last night (June 12) was postponed until further notice. “We need more time with the treatments for ‘Somebody Loves Me,’ so we are pushing the stream back a few more days,” Cenat explained via Instagram Story. No new date has been revealed yet.
